Official transcripts are confidential and are only released on request from the student. All transcripts issued to the student are officially sealed in individual envelopes and may be either emailed or mailed to the student or picked up. Transcripts issued to an institution, company, or agency are mailed directly to their address in confidential envelopes marked transcript of record. Third-party requests must be accompanied by a signed authorization from the student.
Each transcript will include the student's complete record at the University. Since credit earned is determined on the results of final examinations, a transcript will not include results of midterm examinations.
No transcript will be issued to or for a student who has not made arrangements satisfactory to the Student Financial Management department to meet any outstanding indebtedness to the University.
Requests for transcripts should be made in advance to allow time for processing. Payment must be included with requests. Transcripts will not be provided until payment is received.
Students may order transcripts through Workday. For more information about other ways to order, visit Current Students, or email the transcripts department.
Transcripts Prior to May 1991
For courses taken prior to May 1991, refer to the following descriptions of the transcript elements.
Course weight and hours
Course weight was expressed in "units". In general, 1 unit represented 1 lecture hour per week (or a laboratory period of approximately 2 to 3 hours each week) throughout both terms of the Winter Session. Some faculties did not assign a unit value to some courses. The maximum mark possible (max) indicated the weight of a course. A 3-unit course (3 hours of lectures per week throughout the Winter Session) was graded out of a total of 150 marks. This course approximated a 6 semester-hour or a 9 quarter-hour course.
Grading classifications
- Class 1: 80% or better (i.e., 120 or more on a maximum of 150)
- Class 2: 65%–79% (i.e., 98 to 119 out of 150)
- Class P: 50%–64% (i.e., 75 to 97 out of 150); except Dentistry, Graduate Studies, Librarianship, Medicine, Nursing and Rehabilitation Medicine where the range is 60%–64%
- Class F: failure, no credit granted: below 50%; except Dentistry, Graduate Studies, Librarianship, Medicine, Nursing and Rehabilitation Medicine: below 60%
The following standings also apply
- A (adjudicated pass): indicates that credit is granted and the course need not be repeated although it may not normally qualify as a prerequisite for further work. The grade as signed by the instructor is used in calculation of averages
- AEG (aegrotat): granted to a student who has been successful in studies but unable to write the final exam because of illness or other extenuating circumstances
- AUD (audit)
- C: requirements of subject completed satisfactorily; no grade assigned; unit value granted where applicable; excluded from calculation in all averages
- D: standing deferred; excluded from calculation in all averages
- E: exempt
- N: no credit granted; did not write examination or otherwise complete requirements of the course (discontinued beginning 1985– 86 session)
- S: supplemental privilege granted; failure; no credit granted; supplementals are not permitted in all faculties
- T: thesis in progress; graduating essay not submitted; course continuing
- W: introduced in 1988/89 session; official withdrawal
- X: time expired; student did not complete course
Year standing
In most faculties each “year” was graded as Class 1, Class 2, Class P, Fail or carried a descriptive clause indicating action taken by the Adjudication Committee.
Degree standing
Expressed as Class 1, Class 2, Class P, or with Honours; not used by all faculties. In some faculties the calculation of standing was based on the studies of the final two years, in others on the final year only.
